To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Forsyth sand adjoining counties,
having each purchased of the gentle
manly Statesmen of the Wrought
Iron Range Co. of St. Louis, Mo,
one of their celebrated Home Com
fort Wrought Iron Cooking Rang
es, take great pleasure in recon-
mending them to our friends and
neighbors. After thorough test.
we pronounce them a success, and
find them to be as good in every
particular as represented by the
Statesmen. They are far more du-
rable-bake more uniformly with
less fuel--less danger as to fire
than any cook stove we have ever
seen or used. At first we thought
them little high priced, but now
would ottake twice the price paid
for them and be without it. Besides
its good baking qualities, it affords
the greatest abundance of hot wat
er, which is great convenience.
Buy one and you will not regret the
purchase.
Very Respectfully,
FORSYTH COUNTY.

A telegram from Tucson of the 20th instant, says: Last Monday night four mounted Mexicans took in the ranch of Mir. w. H. Wheaton at San Pedro, robbed him, and af. terward whipped him, to make him reveal the whereabouts of other money. They left him bound hand and foot in the house, and then rode away. Wheaton loosened himself, rode sixty miles, and de- scribed some of the money, which was marked. Yesterday a Mexican paid fine of $100 for another Mex. ican which was discovered to be the identical money taken from Whea- ton the night previous. Sheriff Shibell took posse this morning to the haunt of the gang who paid the fine, surprised them, and had them jailed before daylight. This is believed to be the gang of Mexi- can horse thieves who have been robbing extensively in this section during the last three months.

The Daily Citizen of Albuquer- que says train No. 1, which left that place on the morning of the 2Oth was ditched about three miles from Chalender, Arizona. Engine IA, a companion to the one wrecked a few days ago, was ditched and IS lying on its side near the track. An extra express car saved the mail ear from similar fate. The engi- neer and fireman jumped from the engine when it went over, and es- capped with slight bruises. A broken fange on the pony truck was the cause of the accident.
 4 more serious accident occurred at Canon Padre, near Canon Diablo last night, the 21st. The train ran into broken bridge, and fireman Ward, of engine 9S, in jumping from the engine was killed. The

THE Commissioner of Agricul- ture has shown himself to be in earnest in his endeavors to sup- press and stamp out pleuro-pneu- monia in the United States. He has written to all the Governors of States whose legislatures are now in session, requesting State co-ope- ration with the Bureau of Animal Industry, established three years ago for the purpose of stamping out pleuro-pneumonia in cattle. He submits draft of the bill which he thinks the legislatures might all pass. It would confer upon the in spectors of the Bureau of Animal Industry the right of inspection, quarantine and condemnation, and secure to the inspectors the assist ance of sheriffS, constables and peace officers.

 OUR western towns make a great deal of noise over their booms, when real estate takes an upward turn, but Washington according to all accounts, is having the greatest boom, so far as advanced values in real estate are concerned, of any city or town in the United States. A Globe-Democrat reporter quotes Major J. J. s. Haswell, of the In- terior Department, as saying: "The people of the country seem to have very inadequate knowledge of the greatest boom that was started in America, and that is the boom ill Washington real estate. Property has been advancing for the last few years, but the increase of value within the last two years is almost fabulous. When Chicago, St. Louis or Kansas City people talk about property being worth $4,000 or $5,- GOO a front foot, they are regarded by their fellow-citizens as being very extravagant in their estimates. But these prices would in Wash ington be considered as exceeding ly low. There is quite large piece of property there, owned by a friend of mine, for which an offer of $15 a square foot was made and refused. This propertylies between the offices of the Geological Survey and Will lard's hotel, and is no more valua- ble than great deal of land in that neighborhood. At these figures land would be worth $3,000,000 an acre, and much real estate in Wash ington would to-day bring this price. Boss Shepard, who has been subjected to an immense amount of abuse, really made the city what it now is, the finest capital ill the world. The people of Washington now recognize this fact, and when Shepard returns, he will receive an ovation never before given any pri- vate citizen. Values are daily rising as the demand for residence lots in- creases, and the prices asked to- day, large as they are, will be noth- ing to those which will easily be obtained in year or two."

THE editor of the Apache Coun- ty Critic spent a portion of last week in our town, and after evapo- rating to partial dryness some of Darling's stock in trade, which he had previously pronounced as be- ing badly diluted, he accidentally collided with something, which ap- parently produced the same result as being gently rubbed against the soft side of a board. Outside of slightly defacing personal beauty, no harm was done. Accidents will happen, and when provoked are liable to increase in frequency. Moral-The length of all ropes are ultimately reached, and frequently so suddenly and unexpectedly as to produce considerable recoil.

THE tide has turned, and south ward "the march of empire takes it's way" The south, after twenty five years of huctuation has at last taken a steady onward and up ward movement that looks as if 1t were to be permanent, with no more back sets. We note q few of the new enterprises started in five Southern States, and think there are no other five States in the Union that can boast of as many new busi- ness undertakings of the same mag nitude. In Alabama the new in- dustries started include eighteen coal and coke companies, twelve foundries and iron works, fourteen furnace, five cotton and four rolling mills. Eleven mining companies and five railroads have been organ ized in Georgia ten wood working mills, eight mining companies and five natural gas companies in Ken lucky; seven cotton mills, three foundries, seven tobacco factories and ten railroads in North Caro- lima. and twenty-four lumber works, twelve coal mining companies, five cotton mills and ten street railroads in Tennessee.

THE Fl Paso Inter-Republics says: Yesterday noon sixty-two destitute men, women, and children not to say anything about the in- nocent babes on the mothers breast passed through the city for Califor- mia and Washington Territory where, if the Almighty is willing, these poverty-stricken people hope to eventually find relief. On Fri day there was similar party of 56 souls passed through.
 Our reporter had long talk with I. s. Albin, of Fleming, Comanche county, Texas, one of the sufferers. Mir. Albin said the situation was terrible. His party was from Co., manche, Erath. Brown, Eastland and Callahan counties, where no rain had fallen for twenty-two months. There were simply no crops at all, and people were leav- ing for all directions. Land where cotton had been raised was too dry to be broken. MT. Albin said the $100,000 fund amounted to about $2 per person.
 It was appealing to even repor- ter's hard heart to see the women and children and babes with their quilts and scanty earthly posses sions thrown around them as emi- grants, with scarcely enough suste- nance to subsist on.
